I really didn't garnish a single bit of information from this book. It has almost nothing to do with the fundamentals of traditional tarot, and fails to offer up some kind of unique alternative. I read this entire book cover to cover and came away knowing just about what i started with before i opened it: Nothing.

This book is an attempt to introduce a new-age appeal to tarot and drag it away from it's "fortune-teller" (as the book describes it) roots, Basing the reading souly on a persons psychological reaction to the card instead of the traditional teachings of energy & spirit.

If you want to learn tarot, don't buy this book. Get Learning the Tarot or goto the website of the same name. This book is useless, tries to fraud the essence of tarot, and doesn't even properly explain the point it's trying to convey. Avoid it and if you accidentally get to close, walk, don't run, away.

This set was a waste of money for me. I couldnt follow any of the meanings of the cards, not by what the book was saying. I am prolly just stupid. But I personally like the recipie card deal.
